There's a George Yates who is a carpenter/joiner up to the 1861 census and then a photographer from the 1871 to the 1901 census, living in Ecclesall Bierlow, which is virtually Sheffield! Only thing is he is plain George not George V. However, he and his parents and probably other family are in the Sheffield area in 1851 when a child called George Verdon Yates was born. Unfortunately George Verdon Yates doesn't appear on any census (b Q4 1851 d 1853) to see how he fitted in, but maybe George the photographer pinched his initial if it was a family name?
None of which helps date your photos! lol
